Dried Apricots Make You Fart
Eat one dried apricot and you will most likely be OK. Eat more than a handful and get ready for the fireworks because trust me you’ll be farting like crazy! Based on my own personal experience these are some of the most gas inducing foods on the planet.
I’ll never forget the day I was introduced to these delicious dried fruit little trouble makers. My coworker who sat in the cubicle behind me offered me a bag one afternoon at work. She said she didn’t like them and that I could have them. I didn’t think much about this seemingly innocent offer and took them without hesitation.
After going to the gym after work I was starving, then I remembered I had the apricots so I ate a couple while driving home. I thought to myself these are delicious so I decided to have a few more. Before I knew it I had finished off the bag. Little did I know at the time that I had made a terrible mistake!
It was a Friday night so I was watching a movie at home when all of a sudden I felt some major rumbling and churning in my stomach and the cramps were out of this world.

I didn’t think too much of it and kept watching the movie. Then it rumbled again even more violently and then I let out one of the loudest and stinkiest farts of my life! It was unreal. My wife heard it downstairs and asked me what the hell was going on. I then proceeded to rip the loudest rancid farts ever for the next several hours. Some of these were 5-10 seconds long. These were deep loud rumbling farts from the depths of hell. At one point I thought the gas would never stop.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind ripping the occasional large fart since it feels good to relieve the pressure but the gas created by dried apricots is absolutely ridiculous. Let me be clear. These were not normal farts. These were super loud and felt like they would tear my anus a new hole if you know what I mean. Also they stank bad…..I mean really, really bad!
WARNING: Listen to this MASSIVE dried apricot FART if you dare!
Some of them were so bad I surprised and disgusted myself. One in particular seemed like it was over 10 seconds long. I even woke myself up a few times at night with the loud decibels caused by my own farts!
Thanks to the high fiber ratio, dried apricots can also have quite the laxative effect. So watch out for diarrhea and make sure you are close to a bathroom!
Sometimes I wonder if my coworker knew this would happen when she offered me these delicious little devils? I don’t think she had a reason to sabotage my digestive system, but who knows! Maybe she was mad at me for something and this was her way of taking out her revenge. Oh well, guess I will never know.
Consider this a public service announcement and consider yourself warned. Seriously these will make you fart like there’s no tomorrow!
If you are in the mood to fart alot eat a bag of dried apricots, cancel all your appointments and make sure you crack a window. Otherwise, try not to eat more than a couple at a time. You can thank me later!

Why Do Dried Apricots Make You Gassy?
Dried apricots contain a sugar alcohol called sorbitol that is hard to digest and can make you incredibly gassy. Sorbitol is sometimes given to patients in the hospital as a laxative to constipated patients so that should tell you how powerful it is!
Most dried apricots also contain sulfur dioxide which give them their bright orange color but can also wreak havoc on your digestive system and create massive amounts of gas.
Dried fruit is also dense in fiber which really gets things moving.
This trifecta of sorbital, sulfur dioxide, and high fiber content will turn you into a non-stop farting machine if you are not careful and eat more than a few!
This food will make you fart even more than dried apricots!
Listen to this hilarious podcast episode from Jacked on the Beanstalk by vegan fitness guru Samantha Shorkey. She talks about her experience after eating a fart inducing bag of dried apricots! Let’s just say her “explosive” experience was similar to mine.
Remember dried apricots don’t discriminate. Male or female, young or old, eat too many and they will wreak havoc on your digestive system. Massive dried apricot induced fart (Loudest Fart Ever)!
